Comment (by ryandesign):

 Ah. Well, then ports should not use dylibs in their path-style depspecs.
 Any file installed by the port can be used, so any file whose name does
 not vary by OS would be a better choice than a dylib. When a dependency
 installs pkg-config files, that's what we typically use in the depspec
 when the reason for the dependency is library use. If no pkg-config file
 is provided, I suppose a header could be used. When the reason is the use
 of a binary, then that binary's path is used.
